Re: Sadly, I Dance

This series of trumpet solos is proving a rich vein for
you, William.

Particularly the 'A' sections of this... wonderfully expressive,
emotive writing. The trumpet is so often held heroic or
bombastic or clarionic -- it's great to hear the emotional
side of the instrument brought out so well.

Fine job on this. I sincerely hope this series receive some
serious attention. I note you've priced the scores very
conservatively, and one hopes they sell well for you.
They deserve to!

Re: Sadly, I Dance

I seldom heard paino and solo trumpet and this is a good piece. Romantic and mellow. It certainly broadens my musical awareness, thank you.

By the way, Mozart didn't die in poverty, that is a legend. The truth is that he died suddenly and was burried in a sheet, not because he was poor but because this was very common in Vienna (Austria) at the time. His wife lived a good life after his death, later she made money out of his legacy.

Thanks Raymond - I am so glad you enjoyed the work. The inspiration actually came from hearing train horns at night - they can make an awful wail, but sometimes they can sing a lonesome song.

As far as Mozart dying rich or poor, the wife made out better than Mozart did!
